movies marathon

alang2 aku ada masa ni and i'm stucked here in from of the laptop, i should use this opportunity to post as much things as i can. lagipun baby adam tengah tido...kalau tak, dia punya fingers are busier with the keyboard than mine.

dalam sibuk2 tu, knowing me, tengok cite tetap tengok. apa yang i've been watching the past 3 weeks? as far as i remember, i watched:

bilutt: ok since i am a bit patriotic when i am abroad. i like the part when they first started felda etc. but when it comes to the romantic parts, pi belajar oversea etc2 tu aku dah tak suka. nampak macam pelik pulak cite tu. overall 4 bintang.

divaa popularr: when my husband told me he finished downloading diva pop, i was so excited. so the very excited because i've been wanting to watch it since last year (masa cite tu belum kuar lagi). results: frustated. serious, tak sangka. kesian pulak, how come cite tu jadik macam tu. tak best langsung.nampak macam cheap film pun ada dan banyak yg dibuat2, i mean tak natural. lepas tengok, aku cakap, 'bang deletelah'. meaning memang aku tak berapa lah ngan cite tu. kecewa sangat because i was expecting it to be just as good as pengantin fofular. overall 2 bintang.

cintaa: syukur sangat dapat tgk. terkejut juga, quite fast. how's my feeling towards the movie? ok, nice story line, making me feel of watching it again. aku, kalau cite tu aku nak tgk again, memaning aku suka lah cite tu. bare in mind, cite aku suka tak semestinya berkualiti ke bagus ke. kang jadi issue pulak. cuma aku suka personally. paling aku suka: pasangan cikgu fatty dan rahim razalii..sedih aku tgk. also que haidarrr..aku suka his character....the bottom line, aku suka the story line and the dialogue tu. script eh?? natural. overall: i must say 5 bintang

other cite: yang aku tgk, devils wear prada and i like it sooo much. light movie, easy plotting, and pasal fashion2 ni. aku suka..sangat suka, i like anne hathaway. lagi aku tgk, don..percaya tak?? shoot kat malaysia, tu yang nak tgk sgt tu..overall: ok heheheheh, suspen juga...enexpected ending. lagi, rob b hood...cite jackie chan...best2, menangis pulak tgk sebab ada baby tu, aku tak boleh sensitip sikit pasal budak2 kecik ni...bukan ada personal reason ke apa, dari bujang dulu pun memang sedih tgk cite budak2 ni.lagi apa eh....tak ingat....gokusen 2, baru sampai episode 7. tayouno utaa series dah habis. movie dah tgk. movie was better than the drama. with love pun habis, teru teru bozu, memang aku suka cite tu walaupun dah tgk dulu kat tv....sekarang tgh nak tgk lunch queen. 10 episodes gak, tapi dh pernah tgk kat tv so tgk yang tertinggal je which are the first few episodes. grey season 2 aku tak habis2 lagi...yg tu nak tgk time limited sikit, tu yang lambat tu...sebab kena tgk not infront of the kid. about amazing race, cool, tyler and james memang. i supported them and alabamaaa but not that asyik gaduh couple. survivor...yahuuu yulll menang. aku sukaaa sangat yul. sebab he's smart, he's brilliant, baikkkk, loyal and sepet.

tadi buat karipap pusing...aku pun berpusing jadiknya....its time consuming and demanding alot of energy. i may sound ridiculous tapi everytime aku buat karipap pusing, the first few steps tu mesti aku rasa, 'why do i get involved in this in the first place?' i know there's always pastry as a replacement from making the dough yourself tapi terasa sangat nak makan karipap pusing. haa amik kau, penat seh tapi worth. yang geramnya aku tak reti, repeat, tak reti, buat karipap tak pusing. bak kata dalam cite maknn laksa tu, straight jeee, takde cornar2...aku tak reti, sebab aku belajar dulu dari kawan buat karipap pusing. sedap tu memang sedap, bukan sebab aku buat tapi sebab thats how it is...tapi penat. tu pun i've simplified the steps, from 3 cycles of 'torak'king to only two...torak in english apa eh" tu pun mana aku belajar perkataan torak ni?? haa dari resepi punya website. torak ni ala, apa tu, gelek dough ngan penggelek tu...

enough said (more than enough kot), nak bla. nak masuk maghrib dah...havent decide nak go for jalan2 or not hari ni....better decide now, esok and lusa everythings close. cuti public...so, nak gi tak nak nak gi tak nak nak gi tak nak

headache

i wonder when was the last time i posted something in this blog? almost 3 weeks ago i guess...reasons for not blogging: 1) busy (of course)...busy is subjective, depends on how u define it. and there are different levels of 'busy'. for my case, the last 3 weeks after that demo project, i was a bit busy with classes, report and movies. a week after, i was busier that the week before due to the upcoming seminar and exams. tiba2 ada macam light struck, eh dah nak exam...ada 2 paper lagi...sehhh, cepat sangat ni..biar benar....masa tu aku dah kena panick alarm...3) and last week, it was the hectic'est' week for me. hectic'est' when you have to study even during weekend. masa tu memang panic. the last time i remembered i felt this way was when i was in form 3. for my mid term exam, subject: history. i remembered feeling so worried that night after i went to bed, and i woke up very early in the morning (like 2 or 3 am) flipping thru my history text book. masa tu aku kesian tgk muka mak ngan ayah aku lah. entahlah kenapa, tapi aku kesian gila tgk muka diaorg kalau tgk aku buat kerja sekolah ke study ke pasal aku tak nak diaorg rasa aku ni tengah bersusah payah ke struggle ke pasal aku kesian kat diaorg kalau diaorg felt that way. ayat ni susah nak difahami, tapi to those experiencing the same thing, they can understand.

paling kemuncak aku rasa last week lah. a week before that ada seminar. kena buat presentation for the course. prof assigned 2 students per topic. my partner is a chinese girl, from mainland china. one of the boys in the course talked to me about the seminar. he said 'you are very lucky to get a chinese as a groupmate. now you can relax, chinese is so hardworking'. berdesup darah aku masa dengar tu. nasib baik aku tak bagi ceramah kesedaran sivik kat budak laki tu. nak je aku cakap 'tu kau kot, suka jadi leech, back ride atas orang, lain kali nak cakap tu pandang2 sikit.' aku terasa gak dia cakap mcm tu, sebab dia tak tahu, for the project, i made almost 85% work. i searched and collected for all the materials, even her material, aku yang carik, aku suruh dia baca dan summarize je. masalah aku is aku ni agaknya fall under perfectionist group of people, and it is suffering. aku buat all the report, aku dah merahkan siap2 mana part yg dia kena masukkan isi dia. dalam report tu i made everything, dia cuma 2 subtopics. paling aku geram masa hari sebelum presentation. bape kali dah aku ckp, better complete the report ASAP because both of us are busy, dont wait until last minute. tapi sampai malam nak hantar tu baru dia bagi kat aku yg corrected version. that noon she came to my room. masa tu aku tgh study nak peksa (tu yg aku geram, bila kau last minute habis kacau masa aku). aku pun tinggal study jap. tu dalam 2 jam jugak tu. bincang2, susun power point. we combined our parts. terkejut aku, power point dia ayat panjang nak mampus. ni mesti copy dari buku. aku pulak kena edit jadikan bende tu point. nama pun power point, bukan power essay. ya Allah sabar jelah. lepas tu combine report...aku nak menangis rasa...teruk gila...ayat tergantung, tulisan besar2. main buat je, takde numbering, takde apa. sebab aku perfectionist dan aku rasa org tak perfectionist pun akan pengsan, aku jadik panas hati sgt tgk bende tu. dengan tulisan campur2 bold, italic apa ke bende. bila aku baca, laa ni ayat buku. rupanya dia copy and paste sebijik2. jadik ayat tu semua takde flow sebab dia copy and paste mana yg penting. patutnya editlah kan, make it into continuous punya contents. terpaksa pulak aku cakap ngan dia pasal isu plagiarism. dahlah takde masa....bape kai dah aku cakap, jgn tiru bulat2...dah lah takde reference....ya Allah teruknyaaaaaaaaa.....dia pulak naik takut, bila aku kata masalah besar kalau kena tangkap for plagiarism. beria2 nak edit pulak, aku kata siapkan petang ni jugalah, esok nak hantar.

deep down aku kesian gak ngan dia sebab her schedule is so damn tight. she takes almost double subjects from other students. homework berlambak. kat sini homework susah nak mampus aku tgk. scary. tu pun aku tgk dia kesian gak, buat sangat dah kerja. aku ni cepat sejuk hati. cuma aku tak boleh hide my true feelings so aku rasa time2 aku bengang tu she can sense it. tapi lepas tu kitaorg sembang2, bincang2 balik ok....masa seminar kita kena jadik opponent to the group before us. so we need to prepare a few questions to be asked to that group. esoknya pi seminar, satu soalan pun dia tak prepare. aku prepared a few. aku punya principle, walaupun aku tak mengadu, tak komplein org tu depan2, tak kata apa dan redha je ngan apa jadi walaupun rasa macam kita buat berganda2 kerja dari dia, tapi aku takkan bagi something free2. meaning jangan haraplah aku nak bagi soalan aku kat kau utk kau tanya sebab mesti prof expect soalan from both of us. pada aku, apa kau buat tu yg kau deserve. no free ride. aku pantang free rider.

pada aku, tak kiralah bangsa apa, its not about bangsa, its about individual. sapa cakap melayu malas?? tu memang orang yang hamprak. kalau org tu malas, blame him as an individual, not because he is a malay, he is a chinese or indian. but because of who he is. macam mana pun, aku ngan groupmate tu baik gila. kitaorg close. selalu cite pasal hal masing2, kongsi pasal kedai makan, sale..cite pasal negara masing2....kitaorg pun selalu support each other dan sekepala sebab dua2 macam blur2 sikit kot. cuma certain bende lah masing2 ada kekurangan. dia banyak kali cakap maaf sebab aku buat byk keje, aku pulak sebenarnya patut minta maaf ngan dia juga, is she ever felf depressed or whatever. syukur Alhamdulillah the seminar went well for all groups except for the last group, macam nak mati budak2 ekor tu kena tanya soalan...soalan ngan budak2 phd pulak, mengalahkan time defense aku tgk. dasyat sangat sampai aku tak sampai hati tgk budak berdua tu kat depan. nasib baik opponent aku baik...

lepas seminar hari rabu, jumaat ada peksa utk subject tu. lepas tu khamis minggu depannya ada peksa lagi. weekend tu ekna study sikit (sikit je sebab aku kalau kat umah, memang restless, banyak distraction). kerana musim peksa ni, 2 acara embassy office aku skip. thats a huge sacrifice bro! bad timing, what to do? malam rabu tu, sebelum peksa tu, i couldnt sleep from 2.30 am until morning. dalam kepala tengah menghafal all the equations and reactions. pening kepala. memang yang peksa khamis tu i felt worried and nervous semacam. entah kenapa....

Alhamdulillah as for now, those 2 exams were over. no need to worry anymore. all i can do is: usaha, doa, tawakkal and yakin. waaaaa, takutnyaaaaaaaa...takpe tawakkal je pada Allah. next week, start a new chapter. that's how life is anyway....

Demo

last saturday, my husband was 'invited' for roti canai demonstration. mula2 we supposed to meet at our house because we were tooo lazy to go out. pagi tu change plan. suami miss c beria2 ajak ke rumah dia jugak, sanggup datang amik. kalau gitu oklah, heheh kalau nak kena naik bas semua, tak sanggup..lagilah nak bawa tepung yang dah diuli tu, berat seh...

so tengahari tu kami buat demo..mula2 menebar, lepas tu menguli pulak. tuan rumah siap sediakan dalca daging dan ayam masak masala. nasi lemak pun ada...best2...

hari sebelumnya cik talam buat kuih lapis, first attempt. alhamdulillah jadik tapi the most top layer macam terlebih apa eh, macam anjal gitu...tapi oklah asalkan ada rupa...petang tu kami sekeluarga pergi makan buffet. satu kepala 6.99 euro, kids below 5, 1.99 euro. best gilaaa...i always love buffet, dahlah pegi lepas semayang maghrib..so takde terkejar...ada all the salads, tomato soup, seafood and vegetarian pizza, garlic bread, onion ring, tortilla chips and salsa, cocktail fruit, all the carbonated drink, milk, kahvia (coffee), ice cream with different toppings, etc.

about juaraa laguu, hmm..macam mana yek...my personal comment (even though i am not a professional jury ke apa, but my opinion as a public listener), lagu hazami (kak mimie) ok, i agreed. ku seru tu, hmm oklah...terlalu istimewa tu not my fav, dan paling mengejutkan lagu nooraaa, Ya Allah serious, aku tak pernah dengar pun lagu tu, maybe aku yang something wrong kan, tapi bila dengar pun takdelah catchy sangat. sedap lagi lagu iriss, lagu siti sarah tu and liza hanim's for me was the best. suara pun power. yang lawaknya aku tak sangka siti sarahh nak buat tarian kena2 angkat tu..teringat kak gee (fauziahh latiff) dan shimaa (lagu teringin), masa final diaorg pun ada kena angkat2 tu..tapi semua of course tak boleh lawan sapa lagi, 'ada cinta ada rindu' hehehe, mas idayuuu with her summersault berpusing, that was something!

gokuseen 2, so far so good, mula2 kinda frustated because i was expecting the same students to be in the cite. 2 rupanya diaorg ni lepas grade 3, grad. so in gokuseen 2, ada a new group of students. so far, yang aku suka, ryu odagiri tu je, pasal dia punya character imitate sayotak's..cool and mysterious (cewah)....

hari ni cuti, hari kemerdekaan. aku rasa aku lebih over happynya dari org finlandd sendiri, pasal cuti kan...semalam sembang ngan kawan indonesian tu, dia nak pergi bercuti for 2 weeks starting this sunday. aku tanya ke mana? ke mexico...ek? pelik pulak aku dengar..entah kenapa, tapi aku rasa weird, tak sangka dia nak ke mexico...macam, tempat tu aku tak pernah fikir utk bercuti..mungkin sebab sebelum ni aku rasa tempat tu jauh sangat and bahaya2 kot..biasalah, aku salah paham sebab tak tahu info...ok to my friend selamat bercuti, best gilaaaaa, aku nak sangat ikut tapi dia kata dia tahu minggu depan2 tu aku ada exam and presentation. sebab dia pi free and easy tu yg aku suka, cheaper. take care naa, jangan terjumpa sucree (prisonn break) kat sana nanti sudah...
